Mayor Waggoner:
I would like to resign my position on the Library Board.
This position has been difficult for me to attend, whether it be because of work which took me out of town or
Council obligations. Additionally, the only, initial, meeting I attended I was met with far less than a welcoming
attitude by the Library Board and Librarian. Thereafter, I admittedly was far less than eager to attend any
meetings. As a result, I pushed off the Board by the Librarian due to lack of attendance. The then Mayor had to
clarify that Board positions are filled at the discretion of the Mayor; not other Board members. I was then put
back on the Board, again under less than welcoming conditions.
I note the Library is even offering attendance via ZOOM. However, for the above stated reasons I still have not,
and hesitate to, attend Library Board meetings. I think it is just best for me to step away and let the Library pick
someone they can work with to be on their Board.
Sincerely,
Emelie K. Eaton
